Aims & Scope
The Brazilian Journal of Geology (BJG) is a quarterly journal published by the Brazilian Geological Society with an electronic open access version that provides an in-ternacional medium for the publication of original scientific work of broad interest concerned with all aspects of the earth sciences in Brazil, South America, and Antarctica, in-cluding oceanic regions adjacent to these regions. The BJG publishes papers with a regional appeal and more than local significance in the fields of mineralogy, petrology, geochemistry, paleontology, sedimentology, stratigraphy, structural geology, tectonics, neotectonics, geophysics applied to geology, volcanology, metallogeny and mineral deposits, marine geology, glaciology, paleoclimatology, geochronology, biostratigraphy, engineering geology, hydrogeology, geological hazards and remote sensing, providing a niche for interdisciplinary work on regional geology and Earth history. The BJG publishes articles (including review articles), rapid communications, articles with accelerated review processes, editorials, and discussions (brief, objective and concise comments on recent papers published in BJG with replies by authors). Manuscripts must be written in English. Companion papers will not be accepted.
